Once the lawsuits start flowing, some GWU kids are going to end up with free housing.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/520f5e2469bedd4430000070Guy FawkesSat, 17 Aug 2013 07:27:32 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/520f5e2469bedd4430000070
I lold at the idiot who said "this is not the Ritz Carlton" right below the toilet garbage from the ceiling collapse.
Nobody will care, as long as there are sheeples to pay, and $$$ are coming. Ofc a spokeperson will bs everyone to avoid a pr negative campaign. The finality of all this is only about money.
It's not the only case, I have been to NY a few times, and I can say the hotels are in the worst conditions compared to the entire world, dirty, disgusting, and expensive, even worse than London and Paris, and believe me that is quite a statement.
Unfortunately GW, NY are a bit like Detroit : your country going down the toilets.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/520f2094ecad04fd38000023--- GW Student Class of2013---Sat, 17 Aug 2013 03:04:52 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/520f2094ecad04fd38000023
GW has to take responsibility. As an alumni and someone who values my GW education greatly, I feel it would be best if the administration would focus more on student welfare rather than making financial gains. I think the university can do better and without doubt, the students, who pay such a hefty price ( and according to new regulations are REQUIRED TO STAY IN DORMS) deserve better.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/520e5facecad04ee55000064NameFri, 16 Aug 2013 13:21:48 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/520e5facecad04ee55000064
.. oh and one more thing. The "summer interns" who it seems started this page and live at GW aren't affiliated with the University. In my experience during summers at GW, they treated the place like shit. Those students were half from outside the DC area, and half from Georgetown/AU who live at GW because their schools don't offer summer house. They dont' give a damn about the campus because it's not theirs. They're just there on a summer power trip interning on the Hill.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/520e5fa869bedd931200000fSome NameFri, 16 Aug 2013 13:21:44 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/520e5fa869bedd931200000f
Well obviously you don't get that if the maintenance workers did what they are supposed to, then it wouldn't be in this condition.
They should be doing walk throughs at the end of the year and charge for any damages. That is why there is a deposit so people can't just run off or they lose that money.
The university that I go to has a thousand apartments and even more dorms and they are not even close to that bad conditions. And the university is a state college.
And those maintenance workers being lazy is probably another reason why college's tuition is damn high. They are too lazy to do their job so they higher more so on and so forth.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/520e5ec1eab8eab36c000021NameFri, 16 Aug 2013 13:17:53 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/520e5ec1eab8eab36c000021
This is such a joke. As a two-time GW grad ('05, '06) and definite spoiled 1%'er, I can say our dorms were like palaces. For 4 guys, we had 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, full kitchen and full living room & entryway. The common areas were kept spotless and the "FixIt" service was there at the drop of a hat to change a light bulb. GW only recently ended MAID SERVICE in the freshman dorms. I can't speak to the specifics above, but if I were a betting man I'd say this is the result of some drunken antics by people even more spoiled than I. (Exhibit A: broken beer bottle in the laundry room!)
I will say, despite the high price tag, I received an excellent education at GW, and you can't beat the location.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/520e5df4ecad049251000034TEPFri, 16 Aug 2013 13:14:28 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/520e5df4ecad049251000034
Who do you think does the maintenance at GW? The same worthless crowd that runs & maintains the city of Washington, and things like the Metro....gimme a break you naive twits.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/520e558269beddcd79000011Mr. BeanFri, 16 Aug 2013 12:38:26 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/520e558269beddcd79000011
In all honesty, probably 95% of the damage is caused by the occupants in an irresponsible manner.
Drunk college kids do all sorts of stupid things. Then they expect someone to come and clean up after them.
I don't blame the maintenance worker one bit for avoiding it as much as possible.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/520e551869beddd179000009LeonardFri, 16 Aug 2013 12:36:40 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/520e551869beddd179000009
GW is highly overrated and expensive. Thought there dorms were dumpy when I visited with kid years ago. At the same time, many elite schools put little of their millions into dorms. Yale, UVA are two I have seen first hand. That's why dorms are not on most college tours.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/520e522b69beddde7100001c1usernameFri, 16 Aug 2013 12:24:11 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/520e522b69beddde7100001c

The GW University President will be gone in less than a week.
